Only 2 gold medalists in track and field left from 1952 now.

Marjorie Jackson is 92, Barbara Jones is 87

I made a mistake on George Rhoden's age.  He was actually 97.  The first thing I saw about it said 92.

🇺🇾 Juan Izquierdo, 27, football player from Nacional. He had an arrythmia in the end of the match against Sao Paulo in Copa Libertadores, then cardiac arrest and brain damage before death. Shocking news, the saddest part is that he has two little kids and the younger one was born a couple days ago.

I don't want to start writing at this topics, but unfortunately Iryna Glibko, who was our captain and leader in women's handball team, died at age 34 due to oncology. 

 

I always joked that if we could clone Glibko 5 or 6 times, we will be at the top-level competitions, she was so strong and so sunny..... I missed her so much, hope she's in the better place now 😭
